Bed Bugs are tiny, wingless, brown and oval shaped insects that, like mosquitoes, feed off the blood of animals and humans. Adult bedbugs have flat bodies and are about the size of a rice grain. After feeding, their bodies swell and become red in color
Unlike mosquitoes, bedbugs have a way of injecting a numbing agent into your bloodstream to keep you asleep as they feed off of you and release an anticoagulant to keep your blood flowing normally. Symptoms typically include itching, swelling, and a straight line of red mark bites on your arm or shoulder
Bed Bugs ,seen by the naked eye, get their names from their habitat- beds and mattresses. You can find these insects nearly anywhere from furniture to paper trash. Their biting activity normally occur before dawn. They take 3 minutes to feed and run away to a hiding spot to digest. It's important to note that they can live off weeks without feeding and live for up to 10 months
Luckily, bedbugs don't usually carry life-threatening illnesses or diseases, but they are definitely just a nuisance to have around. If a secondary infection occurs, usually from scratching the mark bites, apply a local antiseptic lotion or antibiotic cream or ointment. In the event that an allergic reaction occurs, creams with corticosteroids and oral antihistamines are advised. If conditions become more serious and severe, a visit to your family doctor is most needed
Stopping infestation before they hatch can be more difficult than it seems, because once they are inside your home, two bed bugs can lay up to ten eggs in one day. That's why treating bedbugs immediately and professionally can stop and prevent the infestation from becoming widespread
